U.S. Sens. Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters have announced the U.S. Senate has confirmed Robert J. White to be U.S. District Court Judge for the Eastern District of Michigan.
White was nominated by President Biden on January 10. On February 8, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing considering his nomination.
“Robert White has spent his career upholding the rule of law and keeping our communities safe. His will be an excellent judge and his confirmation is great news for Michigan,” said Stabenow.
“After years as both a federal prosecutor and a defense attorney, Robert White has the experience and temperament necessary to serve on the federal bench,” said Peters. “He is an exceptional legal mind with outstanding qualifications, and I was honored to help confirm him to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.”
White has been an assistant United States attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan since 2018.
